Hi Everyone, I hope you have enjoyed the class video. Questions. can be posted here or you can send them to me via email [email protected].
Important Update: The class video has the wrong graphics, it shows Kongoh S-Spiral but this braid is Kongoh Z-Spiral. A revised video will be uploaded as soon as possible.
The video was uploaded on Sunday, April 3rd.
Using the marudai, do we use 30% or 25% counterweight? The directions have one % on the supply list and another in the regular direction document. Or do we increase the weight only in the charm sections? Thanks in advance for the clarification.
It doesn’t matter, anywhere in that range is good. I generally suggest 25 to 30%. No need to decrease the weight when adding chain to the charm section, however, if you are adding charms that are very heavy you may need to reduce your counter weight to compensate. Watch your point of braiding, if you notice that the warps are getting lower as you braid then reduce the counter weight to return them to where they were when you started.
Hi Adrienne,
Would the core and dangles work with a metallic braid? Would the core and dangles hold? or would it be too loose and fray?
Thanks

How long do we have to watch the video? I couldn’t remember if there was a time limit. Have had some medical issues and haven’t been able to watch it yet. Thanks.
